    Hyatt Regency Brisbane

    Did not see this one coming - looks like the former Next Hotel in Queens Street Mall. Hopefully this is the way Hyatt will expand its ANZ footprint rather than announcing a build in 5 years and then never to be heard of again (Hobart...). Info is scant on the website but hope it will have a...

    Re: How do Hilton treat you as an Elite? Since the demise of the Adelaide Hyatt, I have stayed at Hilton Adelaide about 15+ times (including 2 weeks ago) - NEVER had any problems... either with rooms, upgrades or recognition. They even remember to get my bedding preference (ie a topsheet)...
